Consider getting a zoom 6 mm <-> 24 mm quality eye piece. When you are happy to spend a bit more on eye pieces get a mid range eye piece around 13, 17 or 22 mm. I get a lot more fun out of decent (Vixen LVW) eye pieces - around $200 second hand then any sort of super Plossl.

And low magnificant is great for most seeing - its only on rare nights you can up magnification. For me light grasp and sharpness of image trumps magnification every time.

Also - consider:

1. Comfortable, height adjustable chair
2. Eye patch - saves quinting or holding one eye closed for ages
3. Bhatinov mask - makes nailng perfect focus childs play
4. Warm gear for winter!
